Would you use a local-first desktop app for AWS and Terraform workflows?

Question

I&rsquo;ve been building a local-first desktop app for my own AWS/Terraform workflow.The problem I&rsquo;m trying to solve is context switching: AWS Console, Terraform, terminal, assume-role, cross-account checks, then back again.Current scope is roughly:- AWS service views - Terraform projects/workspaces/plans/state - assume-role session management - side-by-side account/region compare - embedded terminal with the active AWS context - local encrypted storage for app-managed secretsI&rsquo;m trying to figure out if this is actually useful or just an overbuilt personal tool.If you work in infra/platform/DevOps:- Would you use something like this? - Which workflow would matter most? - What would make you not trust it? - Should this be narrower, and if so, what should remain?

I work in this and you cannot touch anything from local, so this would not do anything useful
Terraform changes go through CI
You cannot inspect state or run the tf binary locally either you do not have network access.
